Wimbledon 2012 Results: Andy Murray Downs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga In 4 Sets

In Friday's second semifinal at The Championships at Wimbledon, No. 4 Andy Murray downed No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in four sets to advance to the championship, where Roger Federer waits. Murray becomes the first British man to reach the finals since 1938. And if he were to win on Sunday, Murray would be Britain's first men's champion at Wimbledon since 1936, when Fred Perry accomplished the feat.

Murray started strong, taking the first two sets from Tsonga, 6-3, 6-4, but the Frenchman battled back to win the third set, 6-3. His comeback efforts proved futile, however, as Murray took the fourth and decisive set, 7-5. For Tsonga, it marks the second straight year he has gone out in the semifinals (he fell to Novak Djokovic in 2011).

Federer -- aiming for his seventh Wimbledon title, a mark that would tie him for most all-time in the open-era with Pete Sampras -- will take on Murray in Sunday's championship.

Wimbledon 2012 Scores: Roger Federer Defeats Novak Djokovic In 4 Sets To Advance To Finals

In Friday's semifinals at the 2012 Championships at Wimbledon, six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer defeated defending champion Novak Djokovic in four sets to advance to the finals. Djokovic appeared to be lost and playing out of desperation right from the outset, and Federer took advantage, playing with ease the entire match -- while Djokovic kept scrambling.

Federer won the opening set, but Djokovic regrouped and evened things up by claiming the second set. That would prove to be the last time that Djokovic would be in the lead, as he continually hit the ball into the net and grew increasingly, visibly frustrated with his play. In the end, Federer was far and away the stronger player in the match and won by a final score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Federer is now set to play for his seventh Wimbledon title. He will play the winner of Friday's afternoon match between No. 4 Andy Murray and No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Wimbledon 2012 Scores: Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic Tied After 2 Sets

The eagerly-anticipated men's semifinal match between Roger Federer and defending-champion Novak Djokovic is underway. For many, this match figures to be the true highlight of the tournament and is already living up to its billing. The match is tied 1-1 at the end of two sets.

Federer wasted no time in proving that he still has plenty left in the tank. He needed just 24 minutes to claim the first set, 6-3.

Djokovic, as he tends to do, bounced back after the opening set, winning his fifth game of the second set via challenge, which revealed that a ball previously called out had just caught the merest fraction of the line. Djokovic went on to claim the second set, 6-3.

The winner of this match will be the first men's singles player to advance to the finals.
